    Amoxicillin dosage clarification

    Thank you for that! She is 4.5lbs, so I will plan to give her 250mg twice daily. Is that for 5-7days?

    Amoxicillin dosage clarification

    Can anyone confirm amoxicillin dosage? I’ve seen anywhere 125mg once daily to 250mg twice daily. I have an Ameraucana hen with a swollen foot pad. She had a minor case of Bumblefoot, I removed the scab that had a TINY kernel on it about 4 days ago. The wound is closing very well and the redness...

    Bumblefoot healing correctly?

    Hello everyone- I am dealing with my first case of bumblefoot. We have had an exceptionally rainy year (almost everyday for 2 months) and although the girls have a dry place inside and outside the coop, they would still go scratch around in the mud between showers. I think between the mud and a...

    Cecal worms? Bile? EYP??

    Good morning all! I'm going to try to provide as much information as possible, so I apologize for the lengthy post. I am new to raising chickens, have had my flock for 7.5months. We got 12 hens, they have an 8x7' coop and about 500sq ft of run space (half covered). I offer fresh food and water...

    Layer Feed Suggestions

    It's a tough one... I want to give them a good quality feed, but also don't want to spend $150/mo to do it 😂 I do think I am going to take the gamble and let them free range for a few hours in the afternoon when I can be home to watch them. We live in the mountains with lots of predators, so...

    Thank you @azygous I will definitely try a higher protein %!! They are all a minimum of 15months now and laying, so I offer oyster shells and crushed egg shells free choice, along with their grit.

    @Weeg I did love scratch and peck, but its just getting so expensive... $47+/bag here. The feed they are currently on is 16% protein which they have been on solely for about 2.5months... before that I would mix half S&P with the new food to get them used to it. I gave some scratch grains...

    Thank you for the reply!! I really wanted to support our local feed store and buy from them, but they only make a mash which I tried and there was just sooo much waste. Unfortunately they don't make a crumble or pellet. Thank you again for your suggestions =)

    Good morning all - I am fairly new to raising chickens and have a flock of 12 hens. I bought them as pullets and the lady I bought them from was feeding fermented Scratch and Peck. To try to lower the cost, I switched to Home Fresh Extra Egg Layer. They seem to love it, but since the switch I...
